Ph.D. Theses

This dissertation presents the recent solar neutrino measurements with the Borexino experiment and the expected sensitivity to solar neutrinos with the JUNO experiment. Solar neutrinos are created in the Sun through different fusion processes, that are classified as: the proton-proton (pp) chain and the Carbon-Nitrogen-Oxygen (CNO) cycle. [...]

The Jiagmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is a next-generation liquid scintillator (LS) neutrino experiment currently under construction near Kaiping, Southern China. The construction of JUNO will end in 2024. [...]

The Compressed Baryonic Matter (CBM) at the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) is a fixed target experiment designed to investigate the properties of strongly interacting matter in the region of high net-baryon density. The Silicon Tracking System (STS) is the core detector of the CBM experiment and aims to track and measure the momentum of the charged particles. [...]

The electric field experienced by bound electrons in highly charged ions ranks among the strongest available to experimental studies. For moderate atomic numbers, the electric field in hydrogen-like ions is equivalent to current laser systems. [...]

Transverse excitation is a key method required for the operation of synchrotrons, a type of circular particle accelerator suitable for a wide range of applications. The excitation is essential to control the beam: First, it is used in the context of beam diagnostics to enable monitoring of the accelerator's working point (tune). [...]
